Cingular or Verizon
This may seem like a redundant issue but...
I am a current customer of Cingular with a TDMA phone. I am not happy with call quality ie. static, voice clarity, dropped calls etc. Should I switch to Verizon or upgrade to Cingular GSM assuming call quality is the prdominent issue for me.
I live in the eastern Pa area

I live in Allentown and work in NJ. The service in Eastern Pa has been extremely great for me. I would recommend anyone to use VZW in Pa.

Going to Cingular GSM would not greatly affect call quality due to the fact that GSM is merely TDMA over a wider bandwidth.
Also a GSM system is more likely to drop calls thgan a CDMA system due to slot cycling and also because the system is forced to assign a new channel every time you change towers or even sectors on the same tower.
Verizon's CDMA is a superior network if the coverage is good in your area. If you get better coverage with Cingular then the choice is unfortunately clear.

Where do you guys get this stuff? GSM has the truest sound quality of any technology out there. TDMA over a wider bandwidth? Granted, GSM is a TDMA overlay, but truth be told, has a smaller bandwidth footprint than TDMA.
Any network is superior if it gets better coverage in a given area. The best network in the world sucks to the person who can't use it.
